Oh, my. I guess she meant it figuratively, but this is awful speech. Maybe she thinks it's okay because it's just not funny. Meanwhile, Louis CK was funny while saying awful things, as noted in this post yesterday. Some other Louis CK-related tweeting I'm seeing this morning:

I hold no brief for Louis CK, but if you don't like what he's done, you should probably cease using the word "transgressive" favorably to refer to things you like. If anything is "transgressive," it's that Louis CK routine.

Louis CK is not only right, he’s obviously right. These kids were not gifted with wisdom when they avoided being shot themselves. They’re just stupid teenagers who were near a tragedy. And we are stupid as a society for pretending otherwise.

Meanwhile, Louis CK was funny "while saying awful things" - I didn't think they were awful, but I am not posting under my real name. I could not say that using my real name, which is why we have Trump. Jon Gabriel is a treasure.

The Brits once reserved a small area of Hyde Park , London, that they called Speaker’s Corner/Royal Arch, for condemned men about to be hung on the Royal Gallows could have Free Speech for a few minutes before execution. That started the tradition we inherited here. But now that speech has been stopped by the Proggressives every chance they get.

They want onlyDead MenWalking with no one listening to them, on penalty of destruction.

While the narrative poem in rhyme royal has fallen out of fashion, perhaps an indy film could elaborate on the theme. Maybe Louis CK could even play himself, finding a path to Hollywood redemption in submitting to the ultimate humiliation at the hands of...Kevin Spacey!

Speaking of great '80s actresses, I saw a recent interview with Joanna Cassidy where she was asked about #MeToo. She said back in the day she laughed at people who behaved like Harvey Weinstein and said "Seriously...? You have to be kidding!" She also said, as Althouse has noted, that some women and men will do almost anything to get into a picture, so there is a lot of commerce in many of these incidents.

She is writing her memoirs, but is going to hold back until she retires and doesn't want to work anymore. Interesting strategy.

As to CK's wisecracks, I'll note again that media star and possible Harvard man David Hogg was in another building at Parkland, was never a target of the shooter, and climbed to prominence on the bodies of his dead schoolmates. If you can't mock him...? Hogg should go far in Democrat politics.

Ellen Barkin was delectable both in Diner (1982) and The Big Easy (1986).

Of course, this was 3 decades ago.

To put it in perspective, Betty White was probably hot 37 years ago, too.

A "way-past-the-sell-date" Hollywood starlet has to do something, right? As John Cougar Mellencamp once sung - "Oh yeah, life goes on - long after the thrill of livin' is gone" So, why not Tweet about various perceived Leftwing outrages....

In these precincts, I learned of the insults Louis CK directed against Sarah Palin. They were grotesque beyond all imagining. He didn't try to be funny. The insults were meant to be gross and offensive. That, not humor, was their point........It's telling that these insults were not publicized and that, so far as I know, they had no impact on Louis CK's career. When Hollywood types dump on him for his Parkland comments while giving him a pass or even praise for his hideous insults directed at Sarah Palin, they compound their hypocrisy......Given it's recent record, the prelates of the Catholic Church should no longer be preaching against the evils of masturbation and premarital sex. They just look stupid and hypocritical when doing so. The luminaries of Hollywood in like manner would be well advised to stay mum in their criticism of CK's whimsical musings on the fat kids of Parkland, but, of course, they won't. I'd like Louis CK to do a killer set on Ellen Birkin and her smelly old cunt. That would be droll.

Louis C.K before it was announced that he likes to masturbate in front of, well, just about anybody: "He's great, he's soooo funny, he's clever, creative. Let's give him a show. No, wait- 2 shows! Can't get enough of Louis."

Louis C.K. after it was announced that he likes to masturbate in front of your sister: "His words are vile. Rape him."

Actually- the routine in question is pretty much Louis doing Louis. He's always been funny in parts, and cringe-worthy in other parts. That's his act. His sins apparently are not as forgivable to the left as those committed by Roman Polanski. I can't read those people at all. Louis CK is bad, but monologues about steaming vaginas on New Years Eve television (NBC), as the countdown is going on, is apparently OK.

BTW, when is the #metoo crowd going to descend upon the Barkins who married an ugly fat older rich guy. We all know for a certainty, that had “rich” been deleted from the adjectives, Barkin wouldn’t have dreamed of letting Perlman drape her over a chair to take a hard one. The only difference between Perlman, Weinstein, CK, O’Reilly, and Moonves is that Perlman married his victim and paid her handsomely in the divorce...almost as much as the others paid in hush settlements.

Those who got what they wanted haven’t complained. We’re hearing from those who didn’t. Barkin should stay in her lane.

You might not think this kind of humor is funny, and that’s fine. Moreover, you might think Louis C.K., who initiated sexual situations with unwilling women, is a creepy person who has lost the right to joke about uncomfortable subjects. That’s also fine. But it would be silly to pretend that Louis C.K. has undergone some sort of change or deliberate pivot. He’s just doing his same old shtick.

But many in the media have seized upon the idea that Louis C.K. has suddenly became a right-winger—that his new material is some dramatic departure from his pre-scandal days as a woke comedy icon. “Audio of a New Louis C.K. Set Has Leaked, and It’s Sickening,” warns Slate, striking the tone of a nun listening to Eminem for the first time. The Daily Beast accuses Louis C.K. of “pandering to the alt-right,” which is quite the broad categorization; the tons of people—New Yorkers, presumably—who can be heard laughing in the background of the leaked footage would probably be surprised to learn that they take their cues from Richard Spencer.

I can’t recall very many people on the left complaining that Louis C.K. was pandering to pedophiles when he joked about normalizing child rape so that rapists would be more likely to let their child victims live. On the contrary, GQ placed that joke on its list of the 10 best Louis C.K. skits, hailing him as the most transgressive and celebrated comedian “of his generation.”

Those who suddenly find themselves balking at Louis C.K.’s edgy material should admit that the comedian didn’t really change. They did.

Ellen Barkin can claim that she was joking. Rape jokes are permissible when they reference male rape. This is quite revealing, psychologically, as these damaged women often express such, and castration fetishes. Once you see it, you can't un-see it.

My neighbors are hard left. They include a picture of the Obama family on the shelves that only contain family member pics. They have, in the past, described LCK as their FAVORITE funny man. Guess I'll have to ask them if they have any favorite comedians on deck.

Rape fantasies/threats are not usually 3rd-person, are they? (Obviously I'm not someone to know). In any event, what's she all jacked up about? Was it CK's admission yesterday that he regrets the whole "Is it ok if I masturbate" weirdness? Ok, fine then he regrets it. It's more than you can say about most weirdos. And technically the permission requests should have been pretty mitigating anyway.

In any event, maybe I'd not have minded if Ellen Barkin wanted to/tried to rape me a few decades ago. But I don't think she holds the same (marginal) appeal for me in that regard nowadays. Is that ok to say? Can I degrade the toll age has taken on her attractiveness as a would-be rapist? I mean, she is indulging rape as a threat, so I think I reserve the right to use any characteristic I choose to rate the attractiveness as a would-be rapist insofar as it affects whether our sex would have been willingly consented to or not. If I didn't then it wouldn't really be rape now, would it?

I was looking at this thread a couple of hours ago and now there are more disappeared posts from this thread than disappeared students in a picture of an Argentine university demonstration taken in 1981! Too soon?

With a lisping voice, he imitated a young person, stating, “‘You should address me, as ‘they/them’ because I identify as gender neutral.’”"In response, C.K. said, “Okay, you should address me as ‘there’ because I identify as a location, and that location is your mother’s c*nt.”In another part of his routine, C.K. said that his doctor told him to stop eating ice cream. This is when he started spouting anti-gay slurs. “I said, ‘You need to go f*ck yourself. And don’t ever touch me again, you old f*gg*t. You old f*cking Jewish f*g. Get your f*cking hands off me.’ You’re f*cking with my ice cream, I get upset.”Speaking of the Parkland shooting survivors who have since become outspoken advocates for gun reform, C.K. said, “You’re not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot, you pushed some fat kid in the way, and now I gotta listen to you talking?”"

This seems to be a classic case of "Too soon" as far as comedian fodder. But seriously, this is vintage CK so I think the bleating is coming from people who never watched his act. I'm reasonably sure if it was CK stand up regarding castrating NRA members these same aggrieved people would be rolling in the aisles with laughter and high fiving each other.

"Q: What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbitt?""A: Are you gonna eat that?"Ellen Barkin on Late Night with David Letterman.BTW Betty White was gorgeous in the day. Behooves you to Google images of her early in her life.

There has always been a part of the Borg that CK never embraced, the SJW PC victim section. If he wants a career he'll embrace that part now and finally become fully consumed by the left-wing Borg, and he'll get his career back.

Bill Burr did a hilarious bit about the "Disgrace Channel" a place for folks that have upset the pc crowd to chill and still make money until they could comeback to society again. Folks like Paula Deen after someone said she said the n word back in the early 1990's. They may very well have to as what can be said out loud is ever changing and subject to the whims of the mob. Burr is smart in that he refuses to apologize because he knows thats exactly what they want. The best you can do is ignore is an keep pressing on. At some point Bill knows they will get him, its just a matter of time.

"In any event, maybe I'd not have minded if Ellen Barkin wanted to/tried to rape me a few decades ago."

Hey Bitchmo, I can guarantee most sane decent human beings would stand aside and point and laugh if you were raped with a 2x4 then beaten about the face with it, you repulsive noxious turd of a human being. Happy New Year, you repulsive pile of shit. Here's hoping 2019 features a headline about your head being gruesomely stomped like a grape.

"The truth is, big-studio executives are old. They’re my age and even older, and this is something I’ve been talking about a lot lately: Men just will not move over. Your time is up, dude. Now say thank you for everything you got and move the fuck over. Next!

What if I were saying, “Yeah, agents, why aren’t I playing opposite—I don’t know—Ryan Gosling? Why aren’t I still the girl in the red jacket from Sea of Love?” Why are the guys running these businesses between the ages of 60 and 80? The only audience they care about is 19-to-35-year-olds, so get a 35-year-old to green-light movies.

They’re not doing anything wrong; they just aged out of the job, just like I can’t do 10 pull-ups anymore. Men will just wait you out. They refuse to get old. This whole fantasy about women freaking out over aging—that’s bullshit. It’s the men who are hysterical.

At a certain point, the jesters of society will realize that their craft is hated by the Neo-Puritans of the Left and will fling their darts wide once again to the Left as well as the Right. CK may be a first.

The Left is a bigger target. It is funny to see Bill Mahr consciously stop himself to go after so much senseless low hanging fruit. Ever note how his interesting interlocutors are all center/right and his 3 Lefty Bobbleheads are there to spout gibberish while Bill collects his thoughts?

Ellen Barkin. All I remember her in was a so called comedy where a male dirtbag was turned into a woman.

While she failed at playing a man in anyway, she got the unappealing part spot one. The movie got it correct: she is a woman only an orphaned daughter could love.

LOL PJ57. Yeah, conservatives are really showing how poor they are on the impulse control thing these days. If anger management didn't teach the little bastard Jim Daniels, perhaps prison will. After all, that seems to be the remedy of choice for the majority of his president's inner circle - and will probably become the intervention of necessity for his president himself.

Here's to a 2019 with more prison time for more Trumps and Trump wanna-be's and Jim Daniels! Cheers -

Why do you assume she means it figuratively? I think she means it. I think she believes he raped women, because she's a fool, and wants to see him raped in return, because she's bilious. There is nothing to indicate she means it figuratively, whatever that could be.

I have zero interest in watching his comedy routine. I've stated previously in this blog that anything can be turned into comedy successfully when approached in the correct manner. That said, I'm fairly confident that Louis CK is not the correct messenger for any sort of comedy that I would enjoy.

That said, what we are seeing here is classic tribalism. The value of his comedy is measured exclusively based on his position in the tribe and since he is currently exiled he is suddenly terrible. This is yet another example of the "love and tolerance" crowd that lives pretty much exclusively on hate.

Yes, yes...Jim Daniels represents all.Sounds more like a PPPT created troll/false flag to bolster his simplistic rendering of those who disagree with his shif flingin'. But hey..2019..another year he can pray the fabled/appropriated PPPT materializes.

Louis CK says shockingly grotesque and sexually violent things about Sarah Palin's body. He runs into Palin at some event. He is terrified and goes up to apologize. She graciously teases him and invites him to go fishing with her in Alaska.

Louis CK tells a joke about high school students who have responded to a mass shooting at their school by accusing Republicans of trying to kill them. In return for this grotesque libel, the students are showered with awards, travel, money, parties with celebrities and lifelong sinecures -- for the act of accusing innocent people of trying to kill them. Louis CK mocks the sinecures. Ellen Barkin, who likes to assert she is not white because she's Jewish, who says she fears being raped by random white men, and who conflates Christianity with anti-semitism, takes offense and says Louis CK should be raped.

Which one of these women would you want to run into on a deserted country road? A college application board? The neighborhood potluck? The oval office?
